Morrish Mouse Fly

Coffee-fueled late nights on the Delaware River or a rush of midday excitement in Alaska, the Morrish Mouse Fly is a staple for chasing large carnivorous fish. Developed by the famous Ken Morrish, the Morrish Mouse pairs the wake of a Gurgler with a solid mouse profile that can fool everything from two-foot trout to eager bass and pike in a weedy pond. Tied with a rabbit strip tail and a spun deer hair body, this fly takes on a very mousy look, and the addition of a foam strip back adds some extra buoyancy while also letting the fish know it's there, especially on those pitch-black nights.

Choosing the right size for the Morrish Mouse is pretty simple since it's usually fished when you're looking for big fish, so don't be afraid to err on the larger side of things. Fish the Morrish Mouse on a short, stout leader that can turn it over well, and the most common tactic is to give an upstream retrieve to increase commotion. A fly that just might catch you that fish you've searched for years, the Morrish Mouse is a necessary fly for any nighttime or trophy hunting angler.
